The Unicorn Challenge

“Sure looks like there’s been a murder here. Look at this building, it’s old, it’s dark, it’s creepy; there must be a thousand rooms in this place. You can’t tell me that there wasn’t at least one murder in at least one of these hotel rooms.”

“You know what Jack? We were supposed to take this vacation together to tour Europe, see some history, and if this building isn’t history, I don’t what is. And the whole idea that there has been a murder here just makes it all the more intriguing. I’ll bet there was even a room where Edgar Allan Poe sat and wrote one of his horror stories. Wouldn’t you like to see a room like that?”

“Mike, are you kidding me? There’s probably ghosts in these rooms! I don’t think I’d want to see a ghost much less stay in the same room with one overnight! But you’re right, we did want to come and experience historical places, and this certainly looks like one, so I’m game if you’re game. But let’s stop down the street first, get some snacks, maybe some fish and chips they’re famous for. Or we could stop in that pub I saw and have a few beers before we meet the ghosts. What do you think?”
